Boredom — A Great DirectTV Commercial!

“Don’t attend your own funeral as a guy named Phil Shiftly.” Great commercial. The primary point seems to be BOREDOM, doesn’t it?

Boredom is a great problem in our over-saturated, technology-addicted culture.

“I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless; it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say ‘I’m bored.”
― Louis C.K.

“I am never bored; to be bored is an insult to one’s self.”
― Jules Renard

“… millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.”
― Susan Ertz

“I don’t believe in an afterlife, so I don’t have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.”
― Isaac Asimov

Questions:

1. What do you when you are bored?

2. If you could speak to Isaac Asimov (see the last quote), what would you say to him?
